MEMORANDUM FOR : Deputy Chief, WH/7

aye

REFERENCE 3 Your request this subject

Following our receipt of information that Clemard-
Joseph Charles had taken a list of requirezents into
the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince ard asked help in
filling them, WH Division sent a semorandum on
19 August 1969 to the Chief, DCS, asking that DCS’s
contact with Louis A. Brun (from whom Charles had
received the requirements) be terminated. :

east eomialeniggtoa

The DCS New York office on 29 August 1969 sent a
memorandum to Chief, DCS, which reviewed the case, noted
Brun had been guilty of sloppy security, and concluded
that no further requirerents would be givea him. This
memorandum did not, however, say that contact would be OG
terminated; in fact, it s2id they would continue to de- i {
brief Brun whenever be returned from a trip to Haiti. i
This memorandum was sent to Port-au-Prince (HTPW-1347,
17 Sept 1969).

The Station replied (Port-au-Prince 6496, 11 Oct 69) i
that this was not enough, that tke contact should be nd
completely severed. WH/Branch 7 officers then met with ,
Mr. George Musulin of DCS to discuss the matter further, i
WH/7 officers maintaining that there was more political ;

, action hazard to this costact than the FI product !
justified. Musulin agreed to raise the matter with ; H
C/DCS. The result was a menorandum on 16 October 1969 :
from C/DCS to C/WHD which referred to the original WHD 1
memorandum of 19 August and advised that contact with . :
Brun has been terminated. Port-au-Prince was so informed |

(DIR 48277, 21 Oct 69).

was originsily introduced.to FODISH in Kew York City.”
by Sabject on 15 April 1966. Until the early fall of
1867, much of WODISH activity with IDEN A was devoted .
to arranzing contacts with various elements of LNHARP,
which IDEN A requested on tehalf of Subject, and
reporting operational information. To the best of
BODISH knoviedge and belief, however, none of these
contacts produced any tangible assistance to Subject’s -
various schenes. With two exceptions, FODISH
relationship with IDEN 4 since Octoter 1967 has been
exclusively that of foreign intelligence collection.

fhe exceptions were Subject’s request for a secret :

peeting with a WOLADY envoy in May 1969, and an

independent sinilar request from another group in

the same month. As has been fully reported, IDEN A

eade it perfectly clear to WODISH and to Subject

and to the other group that be was acting only as

a@ channel and that he w2s not actively involved or

interested. ¥Ye (WODISH) sinply transmitted the

request. ¥e vish to point out that what: the Desk

calls IDEH's “Lottying” fcr Subject ended before

Octoter 1967. During the nearly two years in

Which the contact in the WODISH New York Office

hag dealt with IDEN A, the latter has never sponsored

or "lobbied" for Subject's various schemes. IDEN A

bas occasicnally relayed information concerning then,

bet has told FODISH repeatedly that he no longer

wishes to be involved politically with Subject.

ce. We wish also to point out toat IDEN A, as a
regular supplier of foreign intelligence on Hcoiti,
has supplied data which originate with Haitians
other than Subject, and, therefore, IDEN A is not
gerely Sabject's mouthpiece. Specizically, IDEN B
end iden C are two of IDSE A’s Esitian scurces.

IDEN B is a well-known Haitian businessman; IDEN C
is a former deputy. — :

“d. We (WODISH) are not concerned with Subject,
tet are very axckh so rith IDEM 4, We do not believe
gchere im Haiti. We are, however, disturbed at the
unprofession:! way in which IDEN A bandled the questicns
concerning foreign companies in Haiti. Ve did not :
request IDEN A to conseit Subject about the requirenents
on foreign cospanies and, in view of the: sanner in
which IDEN A. handled our requirements, we shall
continue cnly to accept information which he proffers
on his return froa his frequent trips to Haiti, and
gball refrain from briefing him. We have requested
our WOROMP customers to give us an evaluation of | ;

DEN A’s intellizence reporting. Unless this evaluation —

is eanfavorable, we shall continue to exploit IDEN A

in the manner just descrited. Insofar as contact ;

tetween IDEX A and Subject is concerned, (1) we cannot

prevest IDEN.A from talking to Subject (or anybody

else), but (2) we have never in the past and shall

pot in the future request that IDEN 4 contact Subject .

on behalf of WODISH,” a ; _
: 3.. To date, the FOROMP evaluation of IDEK A‘s
reporting has not been received. However, since WODISE
Ras agreed to refrain from briefing IDEN A prior to any.

future trips he nay aske to Haiti, there should be no
recurrence of the type of situation described in Ref Cc. -

DCS Relationship with Louis A.Brun
Ref: NG/T Meorania, 28 Way 635 and 19 tag 69, seme eubsect

1. We have carefully considered WH/7's comments about
Touis A. Brun and hiz relationship with Clemard Joseph Charles. We
have concluded that in the matter of the nine questions concerning
the activity of foreign companies in Haiti Brun has been guilty at
least of sloppy security procedures and have decided to modify our
relationship with hin. .

_. 2... Charles has never doubted that Brun represented a
channel to US Goverment authority which he could use to suppiezent
his contacts with members of the US Enbassy staff in Port-au-Prince.

. Brun was originally istreduced to DCS in hew Yors City by Charlies on

15 Apr 1956 (see memorandum SY-251-66). Until the early fal? of 1967,
‘much of our ectivity with Brun was devoted to arranging contacts vith
werious elements of the US goverment, waich Brus requested on Dezal?
of Charles, and reporting operational information. To the bess c>
our knowledge and belief, however, none of these contacts preciced any
tangible assistance to Charies's various schemes. With two excertions,

our relationship with Brun since (ctober 1967 kas been exclusively that - ,

of foreign intelligence coliecticn. The excesticns were Cnarles's
request for @ secret meeting with a US envoy in Mey 1969 and an in-
Gepenéent similar reqcrest from another group in the same month. As»
has been fully reported, Brun made it perfectly clear to us asi to
Cheries and to the other grcup that he wes actirg only as a chanel
and that he was not activeiy icvoived or interested. We simn_y <rans-
mitted the requests. We wish to point out that viet WH/7 calis Srun's
"Lobbying" for Charles ended before October 1957. curing the nearly
two years in which Mitchell bas dealt with Brun, the latter hes rever
sponsored or “lobbied” for Charies"s various sclenmes. ie has
occasionally relayed information concerning then, but has told us
Sererealy thet be no lenger wishes to be dnvelved politically wish

4. We are not concerned with Charles, but are very much
so with Brun. We do not believe that Broa is involved in any current
revolutionary scheme in Haiti. We are, however, disturbed at the c2-
professional way in which Brun hendled the questions concerning foreign
companies in Haiti. We did not request =run to consult Charles about
the requirements on foreign companies and in view of tne manner in waich
Brun handled ovr requirements we shall contime only to eccept informa-
tion wiich he proffers on his return fron his frequent trips to Haiti
and shall refrain from briefing him. We have requested our DD/I
consuers to give us an evaluation of Brun's intelligence revortins.
Unless this evaluation is unfavorable, we shall contimue to exploit

REMORANDUG FOR: ‘Director, Deasstic Contact Service

SUBJECT : DCS Case 47540 ~ Contact with
Louis A. Brun/Clerard Joseph Charles

1. On 29 July 1969, Station Port au Prince advised

questions concerning the Heitian econoay to an offictal
of the United States Embassy in Port su Prince. The list

Governzent format and, although sterile, appeared to be
datelligence requirements. Charles told the Enbassy
official that he had just firisbed a “big job” for the
Pentagea and implied that the List also cane from the
Pentagon. The Exnbassy official suspected that Charles
bad passed a copy of the list to the Kational Palace.

2. On 2 August, a representative of the WH/Haitt
Desk contacted lr. George Husulin, Operational Support

had briefed Hr. Louis A. Brun and had orally passed a
sist of CIRL requirements to Brun concerning Haiti prior
te his trip to Haiti during the week of 22 July.

Br. Masulin speculated that Brun had probably noted the
GCS requirements on paper and then had passed a copy

to Charles upon his arrival in Haiti.

3. Yor a nwuzaber of years, the United States Govern-
ment hag been aware of the political anbitions of Charles
and his alleged plotting to overthrow tte Duvalier regime.
In 1967, this rather open plotting led to his imprison=-
ment fer over one year. . Also, since Hay 1963, Charles
has been trying to obtain support from the United States
Governnent for his plots but he haa been consistently
rebuffed. Charles is not held in bigh esteem by U.3, .
officials and his motives are highly questionable. He.
eves his position in Haiti to his relationship with
Duvalier and his ability to successfully manage sose of

the more notorious financial rackets of the regiae.
Charles enjoys no political foliowing and even the *plois”
with which he is associated are viewed vith considerable
veseree. Por examnle, ve have never been able to confirn
that Charles was involved vith the "military junta” forred
in May 1369, as he claimed. In February 1959, the U.8.

in Port au Prince comecnted that, with regard to
the most recent plotting of Charles, “the possibility
eannot be excluced that Charles....cocld be a provccation
to determine the real rotives of the Usited States Govern=
went towards the Duvalier regime.” We concur in the —
Babassy's view.

1. 4. During the past three ycers, the YH Division has poy
H been kept advised of the contact between DCS sad Brun and
i! his relationship vith Charles. We are aleo avare froa

H DCS end cther sources of the efforts by Brun to obtain

i! ; support from the United Ststes Government for Charles.

Hi Brun is, of course, a close collaborator oz Cnarles 2nd

a business representative of his in New York City. Brun
has contacted officials of the Department of Defense,

the Devartment of State, and even a person with access to
Presicent Johnson on Charles‘ behalf. The Chief of
Caribbean Affairs of the Departnent of State cstegorically : :
told Bren in June 1967 that the United States Government j
ves not interested in supporting the plots of Charlies or
‘anyone else against Duvalier, but this advice seems to
have fallen on deaf ears. The wost recent exazple of
Brun's lebbying eas in Hay 1959 when Brun passed on to

DCS a request from Charles for a secret meeting between

a U.S. envoy asd o representative of tke "military juxta.™
Brun's involvement with Charles requires that he be con-
sidered a biased source of information. While sone of the
information Brun has obtained fron Cherles haa been of .
interest, there is hardly anything that sas not available
through other channels and indeed, much of it was slanted.

. §. As wes set. forth in WH/7 memoranda to the
Gperational Support Staff, DCS, on 15 July 1968 and

A. DIRBCTOR 26288 dated 1 August 1969
B. HIPA-2443 dated 29 July 1969
ACTION REQUIRED: See Paragraph 5.

1. The Station would like to offer its views on
the WCDISG contact, through Identity of Paragraph 1
Reference A (hereinatter IDZN), with 202-357029, as well
as cn the question of the requirezents which 201-357029
gave LNFURE and which were forwarded to Headquarters in
Reference B.

2. Since IDEN has been told that his contact is with
LNSHOE and since he has told 201-357029 that fact, and since
261-357029 has apparently, in his nind at least,converted that
fact into contact with RVROCK, and has probably spread both

. stories with his associates and thereby throughout the ‘ocal
milieu, we have, in erfect, a dangerous security situation.
When we consider that the aysay receives all tne intormation
that 201-357029 gives ID= most ot the time receives .
the information directly prom Wis eu78° then we have an
operation that is difricult to justity.

me rian dean dren nittdhny hee ta

wai ed

3. In the case of the requirements forwarded with
Reference B, we have a situation in which WODISH levied.
requirese. on 2U1-357029, through IDEN. 201-357029

then turned those requirements over to LNPURE which returned
“then via 201-357029 and IDEN to WCDISH. Why not cut out che
middleman and the security conplications, and save the headaches?

oo 4& The Station teels that the ISH handling of 201-357029 —

- results in a case that has the potential of causing severe ;
oblens for AKULE, and that it could well be that AKULZ will
made to bear the blame since elements within RVROCK might

feel that the ultimate responsibilicy tor supervision of the
case lies with AKULE. .. ;

SUBJECT 2 DCS Case 47540 ~ Contact with Loule A.
Brun/Clenard Joseph Charles

1. On 39 July 1969, Station Port au Prince advised
that Clesard Joseph Charles had passed a list of nine
questions concerning the Haitian econosy to an official
of the United States Embassy in Port %u Prince. The List
of questions was written in Fagi:sh in standard 5.8.
Governeent forsat aad, although sterile, appeared to be : :
intelligence requirements. Charles toid the Eatbassy 3
official that he had just finished a “big jot" for. the
Pentagon end implied that the List also came from the
Pentagon The Exbassy official suspected that Charles . :
had paseed 8 copy of the list to the National Palace. ; i

: 2. on 2 August, a representative of the WH/Haiti
Desk contacted Hr. George Musulin, Operational Support
Gtatf of DCT, apd learned that the DCS office in Hew York ’
haé briefed Mr. Louia A. Rrum and had orally passed 6 list 4
of CIRL requiresents to Brun concerning Waiti prior to his :

‘ trip to Haiti during the week of 21 July. Mr. Husulis ;
‘speculated that Brun had protably noted the DCS requirerents. oo
on paper and then had passed 2 copy to Charles upon his °
arrivel in Haiti. ;

3. Yor a surber of years, the United States Governsent
has been avere of the political ambitions of Charles and
hia altezed plotting to o-erthrow the Duvalier reqine In
1967, this rather open plotting led to his imprisoproat for :
‘ over one year. Also. since May 1963. Charles has teen trying 3
a to obtain support from the United States Covermzent for his ;
plots but he bas teen consistently ‘rebuffed Charies is not
held in high esteen by U.S. officials and his motives are
highly questionabic He owes his position in Haiti to his
relationship with Duvalier and his abiiity to succeasfully
panage sone of the nore notorious financial rackets of the
regine Charles enjoys no political following and even the |
“plote” with which be is. associated are viewed with con-
‘pideratle reserve Yor example, we have aever been able to
confira that Charlies was involved with the. “military junta”

U.B. Robansy in Port au Prise commented that, with regard
to the most re:ent plotting 2f Charlies, “the possibility cannot

the real motives of the United States Gaernsent toward the
Duvalier regime " We concur in the Enbessy's + tews 3

his relationship with Charlies We sre also avare from
DCS and other sources of the efforts ty Frun to obtain support
from the United States Coveranent for Caarles Brun is, of
course, a close -allsborator of Charles snd a business

State, and even A person with acess to President Johnson
on Charies’ behatf The Chief of CaritYean Affaira of the i
Department of State catesoricalty told Brun in June 1967 that
the United States Government vas not inte-ested in supporting
the plots of Charles or anyone clse against Duvalter, tut

bas po interest in coatacting any representative or penber

3. The WH Division considers Cleaard Joseph Charles

with little seers or following to carry out his anti-rovern=
